Using the Mi-Forms SDK With Designer

Modified on: Tue, 27 May, 2014 at 10:51 AM

If you have access to the Mi-Forms SDK, which is available for Platinum level partnerships, you are able to write your own classes for use in Mi-Forms designer. These classes can then be used in either VB.NET or Javascript, but the process for each is different.

VB.NET

After writing the classes that you want to use, the first step is to compile them into .dll files. These .dll files can then be referenced through the bottom part of the .NET script editor in Designer. Simply open the "References" tab, right click anywhere in the area, and then select "Add Reference". See below:

After clicking "Add Reference", another dialog will come up in which you will be able to browse for the .dll(s) you created earlier. To do this, simply click "Browse", locate the file, and then open it. It will then appear in the list of possible references to add. You must then select the reference and click the "Add" button in this dialog to fully add it into your form.

If everything worked correctly, you should now see the reference in the references tab shown above.

Javascript

Unfortunately, the procedure to add custom Javascript classes is not as well developed. Since the Mobile Script Editor does not have support for linking external references to it, the only way to add custom classes is to just copy them into the script editor.
